    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Welcome to the forums:) I also have a 80 750E, And I also LOVE it. I just bought it for cheap transpo to work and back, got it cheap. I never thought I would like it so much. I have owned many bikes but this one just fits me and handles perfect for me. Thanks to this forum she is purring like a kitten:clap: I'm happy for you man, and hope you enjoy many safe miles on her.

P.S. I don't hate the square headlight but I love the vetter fairing mine came with so I am sticking with it.

Yeah?Try having a 85 EF.Got my skunk project and fell more like GSR peep.
 
Nice paint job! If that's a rattle can job how did you get it to shine like that?

It looks cool without the front fender but I think it serves as a brace for the fork as well.

Nice polish work too.
 
i have the front fender.... just forgot to put it on for the picture...

also no its not rattle can. I found a guy that did the whole bike for 170$ on craigslist. he used left over paint front his high end custom bikes. 3 coats color.. 3 coats clear... looks great. I especially love the strip on the tank and tail..
